Pls could someone help to know how to write shell script which can archive sas log in unix after 30 days automatically.

The command to find files older than 30 day is this:

find /path -type f -name \*.log -mtime +30

How you go on from that depends on what you mean by "archive". If you use software like IBM TSM, you'd write the result of a file and use that for the dsmc command. If you just want to move files one-by-one to a given location, you can add a -exec action to the find command.
