Hi Talend Kumar,
try this:

(row1.internal).equals("y")?"Y":row1.internal

Looks like the variant without parenthesis and single quotes works

Try with this statement.

"null".equals(row1.internal) || row1.internal==null?' ':row1.internal

check once.

Hi Umesh,
Thanks a lot.
It is working.Here i have 2 doubt.
1)If have remove "space" in single quotes,statement is not working(row1.internal==null?'':row1.internal)?
2) Why statement is working for single quotes( like row1.internal.equals('y')?'Y':row1.internal)
    Not working for Double  quotes(like row1.internal.equals("y")?"Y":row1.internal?
Thanks,

your source and target data type is char which will expect char for comparing that is way double quotes not worked whereas single quotes worked.
