Problems creating SalesPackingSlip Report and saving it as a PDF file

I am trying to create a report using X and saving it as a file but I am having a few problems.

First of all: setting the srsPrintDestinationSettings.fileName does nothing at all. No file is written.

    SalesPackingSlipJournalPrint salesPackingSlipJournalPrint;
    Set set = new Set(Types::Record);
    SRSPrintDestinationSettings srsPrintDestinationSettings;
    str directory;

    // Add record
    set.add(custPackingSlipJour);

    // Set printer settings
    srsPrintDestinationSettings = new SRSPrintDestinationSettings();
    srsPrintDestinationSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);
    srsPrintDestinationSettings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
    srsPrintDestinationSettings.overwriteFile(true);
    srsPrintDestinationSettings.fileName(filename);

    // Initalize
    salesPackingSlipJournalPrint = SalesPackingSlipJournalPrint::construct();
    salesPackingSlipJournalPrint.parmPrintFormletter(NoYes::Yes);
    salesPackingSlipJournalPrint.parmUsePrintManagement(false);
    salesPackingSlipJournalPrint.parmPrinterSettingsFormLetter(srsPrintDestinationSettings.pack());

    // Print
    salesPackingSlipJournalPrint.printJournal(set);

This code generates the correct report with data but I am unable to save it to disk.

Then I tried this code:

    SrsReportRunController          ssrsController = new SrsReportRunController();
    SalesPackingSlipContract salesPackingSlipContract = new SalesPackingSlipContract();
    SRSPrintDestinationSettings     printerSettings;
    ReportName              reportName = "NCCSalesPackingSlip.Report";

    ssrsController.parmReportName(reportName); 
    ssrsController.parmExecutionMode(SysOperationExecutionMode::Synchronous);
    ssrsController.parmShowDialog(false);

    salesPackingSlipContract.parmRecordId(custPackingSlipJour.RecId);
    ssrsController.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract(salesPackingSlipContract);

    printerSettings = ssrsController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
    printerSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);
    printerSettings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
    printerSettings.overwriteFile(true);

    printerSettings.fileName(filename);
    ssrsController.runReport();

This code generates the correct report but it is empty! Also no file is written to disk.

Whys is my report empty? What am I doing wrong?

public static void main(Args _args) { SrsReportRunController controller = new SrsReportRunController(); SRSPrintDestinationSettings printSettings; controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(VendAgingReport, DesignWithNoDetailAndNoTransactionCur)); // get print settings from contract printSettings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings(); // set print medium printSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File); printSettings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF); printSettings.overwriteFile(true); printSettings.fileName(@"Report.pdf"); // suppress the parameter dialog controller.parmShowDialog(false); controller.startOperation(); }
