Shell variable storing the previously executed command

I want to use PROMPT_COMMAND variable to build a history of all the commands i execute. So Basically i want to append the last executed command to my own command log file. How can i find the last executed command ?

I want to add PROMPT_COMMAND="echo $last_executed_command >> my_command_log" But I am not sure how to find the last executed command

What i intend to do finally is have a single file that stores history of all the commands i run from the different systems i work from.

And I want unlimited history log not limited by HISTSIZE
