APEXClass Question

We have an ApexClass that references the SourceSystemID field on Account.  The SourceSystemID field is text, 100 characters and an External ID.   At present, all SourceSystemID's are formatted as "1234" or H1234.

 All SourceSystemID's will soon be changing to a more complex format.  SourceSystemID "1234" will become "Account-4579-1234". SourceSystemID "H1234" will become "Household-4579-1234".

 

SourceSystemID is used in the following APEXCLASS:

Does the ApexClass have to be updated to account for the new format of the SourceSystemID field?

 

Thanks in advance!#@@@@@

    I will try to clarify.  

     

    The Source System ID field on the Account Object

    1. The Source System ID field (FinServ__SourceSystemId__c) is a Managed text field, 100 characters in length, and an external ID
      1.    The structure/and or data type of this Source System ID field is not changing in Salesforce, but the data is  
    2.   At present, all Source System ID's conform to one of two formats:
      1.   The Source System ID is all numbers, ranging from 1-4 digits
        1.  Example: 1256, 87, 909, 2389
      2.   The Source System ID begins with the letter "H", and is followed by 1-4 digits
        1.   Example:  H1256, H87, H909, H2389

      We will soon change the format of all date in the Source System ID field: 

    • Current Format: 1256, New Format:  Person-4594-1256      
    • Current Format: 87, New Format: Person-4594-87 
    • Current Format: H909, New Format: Household-4594-909         
    • Current Format: H2389, New Format: Household-4594-2389

     

    Will this change in data format force us to update or ApexClass?
