There are multiple ways to write a log file in your application.

The most straightforward consists in writing in a file.

If you code with C:

//create a global variable:
FILE *log;

//open the file (when needed):
log = fopen("your_log_file_name.log", "w");

//From your function(s), call fprintf() to write stuff in your file when required:
fprintf(log, "%d %s\n", <my_integer>, <my_string>);

//when closing to the end of your application, close the file:
fclose(log);

An alternative consists in writing stuff in the trail file.

To perform that, rely on ProTrailfileCommentWrite().
