function Set-DbaAgentJobOutputFile {
    <#
        .Synopsis
            Set the output file for a step within an Agent job.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Sets the Output File for a step of an agent job with the Job Names and steps provided dynamically if required
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            The SQL Server that you're connecting to.
 
        .PARAMETER SQLCredential
            Credential object used to connect to the SQL Server as a different user be it Windows or SQL Server. Windows users are determiend by the existence of a backslash, so if you are intending to use an alternative Windows connection instead of a SQL login, ensure it contains a backslash.
 
        .PARAMETER Job
            The job to process - this list is auto-populated from the server.
 
        .PARAMETER Step
            The Agent Job Step to provide Output File Path for. Also available dynamically
 
        .PARAMETER OutputFile
            The Full Path to the New Output file
 
        .PARAMETER WhatIf
            Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.
 
        .PARAMETER Confirm
            Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
            By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
            This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
            Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
