Improve the DRP extraction

DR plan scripts is based on the assumption that TSM is recovered to the original TSM server system where the group, the user who owns the instance, the directories and the instance already exist.
I think it is good to add commands to check if the group, the user and the instance used in the original DB already exist and create if necessary. Also it's needed to have the user name, the group
name, the directories and instance name in RECOVER.INSTRUCTION.DATABASE.

    Thank you for submitting the request. This is a recognized requirement and a solution appears to be desirable.
    There are currently no plans to provide requested function. No IBM commitment is made or implies as to the
    eventual delivery of an acceptable solution.
