PREXML and PROCOB in same project

I have a project where there are embedded SQL and XML as well. When I add "$set preprocess(prexml) endp" at the top of the cbl file or add the Micro Focus XML Preprocessor in Project Properties - Preprocessors and make a rebuild, the build process seems to get hanged. The Output window keeps adding these lines until I cancel the build process:

------ Rebuild All started: Project: IntGntProject1, Configuration: Debug x86 ------

* Cobsql Integrated Preprocessor
* Compiling c:\\jens\\visualcobol\\IntGntProject1\\IntGntProject1\\K2281.cbl

Anyone has an idea what's wrong?

I just tested this here and it seems to work fine as long as the XML preprocessor appears first in the list of the stacked preprocessors.

On the Preprocessors tab of the project properties, click on the little arrow next to the " " sign to add a new preprocessor and select "Installed Preprocessors" and then select XML from the list. If you set the COBSQL preprocessor options on the SQL tab then it should already appear in the list. Move the XML preprocessor above the COBSQL one and it should compile ok.
