Journal the file. This will do exactly what you want.

STRJRNPF will save the changes to the file into a journal receiver attached 
to a journal so that you can produce a log. This is a system level function 
and cannot be avoided programmatically. It also saves an awful lot of 
messing around with writing log file functions.

I suggest it would be worthwhile to thoroughly RTFM to understand what it 
is you are implementing as there are a few gotchas to watch out for, but 
this should get you started.
