Problem when creating sapscript from within function module

Question

Hi,
I created a function module which retrieves some master data, creates a sapscript for displaying the data and finally converts the sapscript to an otf. Afterwards the otf is converted to a pdf file.
The problem is that the pdf file is created but it is empty!
Here is a piece of the code:
FUNCTION zhr_display_jobdescrpdf.
* To access the SAP script output in OTF format.
struct-tdgetotf = 'X'.
struct-tdprogram = SY-REPID.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
     EXPORTING
*           APPLICATION        = 'TX'        " this is SapScript Appl
          device             = 'PRINTER'   " allow output to printer
          dialog             = 'X'         " printer dialog requested
          form               = 'ZHR_JOB_DESCR'       " name of form (SE71)
          language           = 'E'
          OPTIONS            = struct
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'
EXPORTING
*   ARCHIVE_INDEX          =
   form                   = 'ZHR_JOB_DESCR'
   language               = 'E'
*   STARTPAGE              = ' '
*   PROGRAM                = ' '
*   MAIL_APPL_OBJECT       =
*   IMPORTING
*   LANGUAGE               =
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
     EXPORTING
       element                        = 'TEXT'
       function                       = 'SET'
       type                           = 'BODY'
       window                         = 'MAIN'
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'
* IMPORTING
* RESULT =
EXCEPTIONS
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
* IMPORTING
* RESULT =
* RDI_RESULT =
TABLES
otfdata = datab[]
EXCEPTIONS
ENDFUNCTION.
The content of datab[] is:
1     //     XHPLJIIID    0700 0000000000
2     IN     01EZHR_JOB_DESCR   MAIN
3     OP     DINA4   P 144  240 1683811906000010000100001
4     IN     02MAIN
5     EP
6     //
So none of the variables that are used in the sapscript were transferred, although they are filled with the correct values when I put a breakpoint on the function 'write_form'. It looks like the sapscript can't access variables that are declared in a function module.
Putting all the code for creating the sapscript in a report is not an option because then I have to use export/import to/from memory for retrieving the otf data and this doesn't work with the sap portal where the function is called.
Did anyone had the same or similar problem?

Hi,
Yes my problem is already solved.
I created a report which creates the sapscript and in my function module I just execute that report.
So problem solved :-).
