How to find or create default Dimension from X++ in AX 2012

Following is the code you can use to find or create dimension in AX 2012

static DimensionDefault generateDefaultDimension(container _attr, container _value, boolean _createIfNotFound = true)

    {

        DimensionAttributeValueSetStorage valueSetStorage = new DimensionAttributeValueSetStorage();

        DimensionDefault result;

        int i;

        DimensionAttribute dimensionAttribute;

        DimensionAttributeValue dimensionAttributeValue;

        //_attr is dimension name in table DimensionAttribute

        container conAttr = _attr;

        container conValue = _value;

        str dimValue;

        for (i = 1; i <= conLen(conAttr); i++)

        {

            dimensionAttribute = dimensionAttribute::findByName(conPeek(conAttr,i));

            if (dimensionAttribute.RecId == 0)

            {

                continue;

            }

            dimValue = conPeek(conValue,i);

            if (dimValue != "")

            {

                // _createIfNotFound is "true". A dimensionAttributeValue record will be created if not found.

                dimensionAttributeValue=

                dimensionAttributeValue::findByDimensionAttributeAndValue(dimensionAttribute,dimValue,false,_createIfNotFound);

                // Add the dimensionAttibuteValue to the default dimension

                valueSetStorage.addItem(dimensionAttributeValue);

            }

        }

        result = valueSetStorage.save();

        return result;

    }
