Compress every file

Dear Experts,

I am new to this forum. Thank you for moderator to allow me to join.

I have a question about automatic compression using sh and crontab
on an application which runs on the Suse Linux Server 11 SP4.

My question is how to compress every file in a directory into its own tar whilst preserving the name for each file?
here is my sh code:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

DB_DATA_PATH="/db/shr/bcksrv/bck/IPAddress/DBX/Foldera"
DB_TAR_PATH="/db/shr/folderb"
DB_DATA

LINES=$(find "$DB_DATA_PATH" -maxdepth 1 -mtime -1 -name "bck_F1*" | wc -l)
if [ $LINES -gt 0 ]; then
	find "$DB_DATA_PATH" -type f -mtime +2 -iname "bck_F1*" -exec gzip -f '{}' ';'
fi

the above sh code is not working. Any inputs/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
