Create new HCMWorker (Worker)

Example of an x++ method for creating new Worker in AX2012 based on parameters as first name, last name, start date and we need preconfigured default position for hiring a new worker. This piece of code also updates existing worker.

protected void createWorker(){
	DirPersonName           dirPersonName;
    DirPerson               dirPerson;
    HcmWorker               newHcmWorker;

    HcmPositionDetail       hcmPositionDetail,
