Ashish,
If you edit grid and check column DynamicBackColor you'll see an expression like :
iif(recno()%2=0,...
It's that setting colors.

First you should decide how you would change it. Change just the colors or expression or both :) Then instead of doing that one-by-one for columns you just write code to grid.init :

*Color based on recno()
this.SetAll('DynamicBackColor',;
 'iif(recno()%2=0,rgb(255,255,0),rgb(0,255,255))','Column')

If your grid is readonly you can set any column as a calculated value (calculated fields are always readonly) :

*Assuming target column is 3
this.Columns(3).ControlSource = ;
  '( iif(cash_type="F","Normal", '+;
  '  iif(cash_type="D","Shop Delivery", ';
  '  iif(cash_type="S","Pending Cashmemo",""))) )'

Or you could write this expression directly to column's controlsource property removing single quotes and continuation.
