Chart - proper syntax for Selection criteria

I have bound a field for selection criteria on the chart widget, and am trying to determine the proper syntax for selecting data from two "fields" in a database file.
I have a similar chart that work fine using a single field for selection (i.e. YRCS='110-0000001')
Now, I am attempting to select data using two fields in the file (YRCS='110-0000001' AND RTYP='Compensation')
the chart does not display at all with this selection criteria (no data to display) even though the database file does have records that match that criteria:

I'm assuming the "and" is not correct? How would I indicate that selection criteria?

THANKS!

I tried using the same syntax in my selection criteria and it worked fine.

Ensure that the bound field is large enough to hold the results of the two fields being selected from the database file.

Very strange, the bound field is 80 Characters so it is large enough. I also tried several other things and when using "OR" it works fine (but gives me more data than I really want).
I'm back a level so maybe I'll try the latest release to see if that makes a difference.
Thanks
