  The SAP error message GJV_MSG005 indicates that there is an incompatibility between the structure of a data type and the application log. This typically occurs when the structure being used does not match the expected format or fields required by the application log.
  Cause:
  
  Structure Mismatch: The structure defined in the program or function module does not match the expected structure for the application log. This can happen if fields are missing, extra fields are present, or the data types of the fields do not align.
  Changes in Data Structure: If there have been recent changes to the data structure (e.g., adding or removing fields) without updating the corresponding application log definitions, this error can occur.

  Check Structure Definition: Verify the structure definition in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) to ensure it matches the expected structure for the application log.
  Update Application Log: If the structure has changed, update the application log configuration to reflect these changes. This may involve adjusting the log definition or regenerating the log.
  Review Code: Look at the code where the application log is being created or updated. Ensure that the correct structure is being used and that it matches the expected format.
  Use Correct Function Module: Ensure that you are using the correct function module for writing to the application log. The function module should be compatible with the structure you are using.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the program to trace where the structure is being defined and passed to the application log. This can help identify the exact point of failure.
