set and check error level not works as expected in batch

Below is the sample logic for setting errorlevel and then checking the errorlevel.

echo setting error based on some condition
set errorlevel=2

if errorlevel 2 (
    echo Error logic 
)

Expected output was

"Error logic"

Actual output : not printing anything on console

In a nutshell: "You can't just setup ERRORLEVEL variable". One of the way is

echo err = %ERRORLEVEL%
call :set_error_code 123
echo err = %ERRORLEVEL%

exit /b 0

:set_error_code
exit /b %~1

See more on ERRORLEVEL.
