Hi Kulvinder,
When you saw that numerical value, was it inside of a <link
rel="edit"> tag? If so, then what you're seeing at the end is a
version number and is separate from the event ID. It's added to end
end of edit links (and only edit links) so that GData can detect and
avoid conflicts when two people edit the same entry.
There's more information about this at the following pages:
* http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/basics.html#Updating-an-entry
* http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/reference.html#Optimistic-concurrency
I hope that answers your question.
