gzip several different files in linux

e.g., during sas running, there are several output and we want to send out these different output in one email.

1: use proc printto to print to lst or print to csv files; if for lst, remember to cat xx.lst >> xx.txt for easy to read.

2: tar different files together.   x "tar -cvf  to_be_together.tar  file1.csv file2.txt file3.log"; This step to tar file1, file2, file3 together into one file called to_be_together.tar

3: x "gzip -f to_be_together.tar"

that's it.
