You will need to recompile the LF, but this change will not result in a
level check error for existing programs referring to it.

I strongly suggest you carefully think about removing the UNIQUE constraint.
I would rather add the LF to the program throwing the error, CHAIN to see if
the proposed record is a dupe and printing the exception on a report.
