I have a confusing error that I can not understand on SQL Server 2008 R2.
But when I try the same request on a local server (SQL Server 2008 R2 also) everything works fine.
So here is the request raising the problem:
select cast(cast(1.260 as numeric(13,3)) as numeric(10,2))
I also added the result of some queries indicating the environment of each server:
On the local server:

My question is how can I reproduce the problem that is occuring on the remote server. As you can see, the parameters ARITH... and ANSI_.. are the same on both servers. Is there any configuration on that kind of errors on the SQL Server?
