Hi Dmitry,
I don't think there is a really simple way (except for RAISERROR with LOG option, but I forgot what exactly does it do).
It also depends on which mode do you execute your SP - in sqlcmd mode the output will go to a file.
Try also googling on the 'T-SQL Log files' and see what other developers suggest.

>>>UPDATE. I also wanted to find out if there is a way to use ELSEIF in a stored procedure. I know you can do ELSE, but if I wanted to have multiple conditions, ELSEIF would be helpful. Or, is CASE - END the only way to have multiple conditions.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
