Reject from Seq output

Can somebody please let me know on what situation does a reject link connected directly to an output seq stage gets fired with some values. The manual says 'for some reason' and can someone clarify what the 'some reasons' are?

NewPXUser - excellent; I've just tried to get something output to the reject and couldn't do it. I wonder what happens if a disk-full occurs during writing to the file, that might trigger a reject link. Metadata mismatches don't do it, either. I am assuming that when a writef() gets a standard error message returned the DS mechanism will try to push out the reject link. Perhaps if you end up writing to a pipe and the listener dies and one gets a UNIX timeout it will fault to the reject row.

when you try to insert a null value into a column with nullable "YES" without null handling in seq stage records will be rejected.
