SAP Note 25340 - Sometimes no termination for REJECT (incorrect) table

Symptom:

'REJECT field.' does not cause an abnormal termination although the field does not contain the name of a table which is contained in the path from the current table XYZ to the root of the logical database (event 'GET XYZ.'). This particularly occurs if
REJECT XYZ.

is written instead of

REJECT 'XYZ'.

But, a
REJECT SPACE.
also behaves in the same way. Instead of the expected termination, you simply exit the current GET event; the superordinate table work areas then contain hexadecimal zeros afterwards.
