Answer : SQL 2000 Error -2147024888 when executing DTS from Stored procedure

unfortunately, i don't know a specific lookup on the DTS errors themselves. i just checked sqldts.com, as they are a huge resource in all dts regards. but nothing
you may look here, it helps with the dts error hanlding:

and here's a good one on troubleshooting DTS:

i ask again, though, if this is a matter of just the proc, why don't exec the package differently? especially if you say it runs fine when invoked manually from enterprice mgr?
i invoke a number of my pkgs from procs and/or sql agent, like this:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'DTSRUN /S ''yourservername'' /E /N ''yourpackagename'' '
