You can also use INSERT ... SELECT clause to move data between tables within
one database (or between different databases if they are configured as
federated databases).
For example, INSERT INTO tab1 SELECT col1, col2, ..., current date FROM tab2
In this case no additional data file required and performance can be
increased.

The export/import utilities allow writing log messages into a file, see the
option "messages" for details.
For logging SQL statements you can also set options in DB2 CLP to write
output in a file.
