How about something like


SET @var = RTrim(Convert(Char(20),@Log_Id)) + '|U|'+RTrim(Convert(char(50),GetDate(),109))+'|Starting ETRS Load Process'
SET @cmd = 'echo ' + '"|' + @var + '|"' + ' > d:\data\Tax\ASI_log_out.txt'
SET @Command_string = 'EXEC master..xp_cmdshell ''' + @cmd + ''', NO_OUTPUT'

Exec(@Command_String)

That creates/over-write a file...to append use >>
