Ampersand modifier not working

I'm attempting to use the ampersand symbol as described in the Excel Migration Configuration portion of the documentation found here: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMExcelWordImporter#Creating_Configuration_Files

The instructions state:
"& The ampersand symbol is used to add two or more bits of data to the same field. The data can be a mix of items such as: testcase.description=my description: & C4 & testscript.description"

I'd like to use it when importing a test script to concatenate the test step description & the test data into the same field. I tried to start with a simple concatenation of a static field:
testscript.steps.description="TEST DATA" & B10

I received the following error:
Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.

Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC.

Is anyone able to successfully use the "&" modifier? If so, how?

I'm working on RQM 2.0.1.1 iFix 3

Thank you.

You are working on RQM 2.0.1.1 iFix 3 and may be working with RQMExcelWordImporter-2.0.1.1-iFix3 which is compatible with your version of RQM. Please go through the Readme bundled in the zip to see if we support the concatenation then. The link you have pointed refers to 3.0.1 and d 4.0 where we supported the concatenation.
