Saving results of job to a text file

OK. I figured out a way how to do this and in case anyone
else wants to do it...
Call osql using Operating System Command from the job step.
osql -Ssrever -Uuser -Ppassword -Q"DB.dbo.stored proc"
I'd still be interested in know how other people do it.
Still need to play around a bit with the file format.

Another way is to use the T-SQL job type step. When viewing
the job step properties, click the advanced tab. From there,
you can specify an output file for the results of the t-sql
command for the job step.
