Use FOPEN, the following example is from the help section

IF FILE('errors.txt') && Does file exist?
gnErrFile = FOPEN('errors.txt',12) && If so, open read/write
ELSE
gnErrFile = FCREATE('errors.txt') && If not, create it
ENDIF
IF gnErrFile < 0 && Check for error opening file
WAIT 'Cannot open or create output file' WINDOW NOWAIT
ELSE && If no error, write to file
=FWRITE(gnErrFile, 'Error information to be written here')
ENDIF
=FCLOSE(gnErrFile) && Close file
MODIFY FILE errors.txt NOWAIT && Open file in edit window
