The JADE 2022 release meets tomorrow’s business demands.
The JadeAuditAccess class has support for large journal numbers with getJournalNumber_64. It would be useful for the JadeDatabaseAdmin class to have a similar method to get the current journal number.
This is not necessary, at the moment. The highest journal number Jade will create is Max_Integer (2147483647). The next journal number that will be created after that is 1 (one). The JadeAuditAccess::getJournalNumber_64 method was created at the same time as JadeAuditAccess::getNextRecord_64, as possibly overzealous future-proofing.
