Error code is the code for the error for ex 3807 is the error code for the error "object does not exist"
To know the error codes type

Error level is the severity set for the corresponding error code
if error level is
0- Success
4- Warning
8- User Error
12- Fatal error

Answer / yuvaevergreen
Error code or return code is a value returned by BTEQ at
the end of each query. Error level is a bteq command used
to assign severity to some error numbers.
.IF ERRORCODE > 0 THEN .GOTO ... is an example for error
code .SET ERRORLEVEL 3807 SEVERITY 0 is an example.

Answer / vinay sir(datawarehousing tech
One small correction to the above answer.
Errorcode: The code returned by the previous sql statement
which resembles the error message information(we can see in
DBC.ErrorMsgs table).
Return Code: The code return by the script after execution.
These return codes can be 0,2,4,8,12,16.
Note: Error code and Return code are different.
Errorlevel:The severity set to the errorcode at the
time of errorhandling.

Answer / tdguy
Errorcode is used in bteq conditional logic. It holds the
return code of every sql in bteq. 0 indicates perfect
excution of the sql.
Errorlevel assigns severity to error numbers.

Answer / uli
in addiion to the above
Error-Coce is set with each SQL-statement
Error-level is kept for the whole Session
So, it makes a difference in conditinals
.if ERRORCODE -- question about the last statement
.if ERRORLEVEL -- question about the highest level reached
