RE: Procedure pointer

In your case you're doing the reverse; you want Program1 to invoke a
procedure in Program2 via a procedure pointer--almost as a
direct call
into Program2. That means Program1 needs to know stuff about
Program2
(otherwise known as tight-coupling). That would normally be better
served by a function-code parameter which Program1 uses to request
Program2 to perform a specific type of processing. This does
result in
Program2 having a (possibly big) select statement that tests the
function-code and branches to the correct procedure but the
resulting
interface is a lot cleaner than what you're proposing.
