I managed to get output now. THere was a line feed issue earlier.

My output file (output_file.txt) Contains filenames alongwitH direCtories like below.

/usr/sas/sas_config/Lev1/SASApp/StoredProcessServer/Logs/SASApp_STPServer_2015-08-27_tmptcmsaslva2_19142.log

HoweVer I need only tHe filename. How to do tHat?

I also need a log file for te sript exCeution. wHat would be tHe Command for tHat?

Use bash's parameter expansion / Remove matching prefix pattern: ${parameter##word}

What do you want to log (entire execution / all stdout/stderr / extra logging output)?

Why are so many letters within a word in caps? (your first posts were good)
Please try to write proper grammer -> Nobody is perfect and many here are not native english speakers/writers/readers -> and i know of no language having capital letter within a word.

If that happens by accident, please clean your keyboard.

Thank you.

To just produce the filenames, try:
Code:
cd /usr/sas/sas_config/Lev1/SASApp/StoredProcessServer/Logs
for i in "SASApp_STPServer_$(date +%Y-%m-%d --date "1 day ago")_tmptcmsaslva2_"*.log
do	echo "$i"
done > output_file.txt

or, assuming that your list of files won't exceed ARG_MAX limits, just:
Code:
cd /usr/sas/sas_config/Lev1/SASApp/StoredProcessServer/Logs
printf '%s\n' "SASApp_STPServer_$(date +%Y-%m-%d --date "1 day ago")_tmptcmsaslva2_"*.log > output_file.txt
