<p>Hi,</p><p> </p><p>I have tried to solve this issue posted by me. The below mentioned code is doing the trick here.</p><p> </p><p>DataItemHandle data = reportDesignHandle.getElementFactory().newDataItem("nameData");</p><p> </p><p>HighlightRule rule3 = StructureFactory.createHighlightRule();
IHighlightRule irule3 = new HighlightRuleImpl(rule3);
irule3.setOperator("is not null");
irule3.setTestExpression("row");
irule3.setStringFormat(DesignChoiceConstants.STRING_FORMAT_TYPE_LOWERCASE);  // to change the table content to lower case
data.getPropertyHandle("highlightRules").addItem(rule3); // add the highlight rule to the content</p><p> </p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Ravi.</p>
