    If you place your data in single quote then you will not get arithmetic flow error

    SELECT convert(datetime, '20120825142616' , 120) AS [time]

    but you will got an error:

    Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.

    I thought the format is not right. If I only place date it works. like

    SELECT convert(datetime, '20120825' , 120) AS [time]
-- output
2012-08-25 00:00:00.000

    and If I place date in this format it works

    SELECT convert(datetime, '2012-08-25 14:26:16' , 120) AS [time]
-- output
2012-08-25 14:26:16.000
