See this post about GZ support in the SAS FILENAME statement.

 

Example:

 

filename source "C:\Logs\SEGuide_log.10168.txt";
filename tozip ZIP "C:\Logs\SEGuide_log.10168.txt.gz" GZIP;
 
data _null_;   
   infile source;
   file tozip ;
   input;
   put _infile_ ;
run;

Result:

To make a tar file you will probably need third party software.  If you need to create a single file with multiple members you should try creating a ZIP file instead.
