You can use the dsjob -logsum/-log/-report command to view the log file. You can redirect it to a text file and view that.

The job log is not a file. Get this idea out of your head.

The job log is a sequence of records in a database table (RT_LOGnnn) in the Repository database (project schema). Therefore you view it using SQL.

They have also provided some API functions, and exposed these as options to the dsjob command.
