While it diverges from your original script, I'd go for something
more readable like:

:nnoremap <f4> :put=repeat('-',len)<cr>

which makes more sense to me.

I've occasionally used an "underline this" sequence of commands
to make the underline the same length as the line I'm currently on:

:nnoremap <f4> :t.|s/./-/g<cr>

This copies the current line below itself and replaces each
character with a "-" to create the underline. As an aside, that
formula works nicely with a :g command to underline all my
chapter headings:

:g/^CHAPTER/t.|s/./-/g

Hope this makes it easier for you. I believe the "norm" command
does odd things with escape characters, and escaping
escape-characters.
