I think the distinction is evident in the words themselves. Coding creates code, programming creates programs. If you write code but it doesn't create a program (i.e. you are just recording data) then you're coding but not programming. Likewise, if you create a program without writing any code (for example, the way a pilot programs routes into his nav computer, or the way you can program a modern thermostat to have specific temperatures at specific times of the day) you're programming but not coding.
