The form object is passed to your makereport function from the woody2.js
this is due to the lines:
<map:call function="woody">
<map:parameter name="function" value="makereport"/>
<!--using the following element for its form definition-->
<map:parameter name="form-definition" value="forms/form1.xml"/>
</map:call>
Therefore your function definition would look like this
function makereport(form) {
print("before showform");
form.showForm("form1-display-pipeline");
