hello,
reports objects in forms allow you to pass parameters in form of a parameter-list to your report (see SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY). also i would use web.show_document to display something in a web-browser.
if you want to show the output in a web-browser, you might want to use only web.show_document and sumbit the job to the reports-server with DESTYPE=cache and DESFORMAT=HTML or DESFORMAT=HTMLCSS ... this will run the report to HTML or HTMLCSS and bring the result back in a browser window.
