A likely modification you need to make to your code is replacing regular
string functions (LEFT, AT, RAT, SUBSTR) with the DBCS aware version
(LEFTC, AT_C, RATC, SUBSTRC). Functions and operators that work on string
fragments are generally not DBCS aware, eg. $. If you're application only
used the MACHINE collate sequence you might need to modify code that
expects characters and ANSI codes to be equivalent. In general, code needs
to distinguish between strings that are binary data (like a GUID) and
actual text.
