Unified Access to All HR Infotypes

The code snippet shows how to access any HR infotype using unified class-based methods.
The SAP standard class CL_PT_EMPLOYEE provides us with two methods for reading either a default set of infotypes or any other required infotype(s).

The infotypes are returned either in transparent form (default infotypes) or in semi-transparent form (structure PRELP "HR Master Data Buffer") which can be easily converted into their corresponding transparent form (table PAnnnn).
