Assuming you have the room, run the DSMFMT command to create and format your
database (remember to specify a size of 101 on the dsmfmt command, since 1 MB
goes for overhead). By the way, I am assuming that your existing database
utilization is something less than 100 MB. If so, then make sure the assigned
capacity is <= 100 MB before proceeding.

Next, do a DEF DBV for the newly created volume.

Then you can do DEL DBV for your existing volumes. The data will be moved off
of each volume before it is deleted. I recommend processing one DEL DBV at a
time.
