Shell script in AIX

Hello Experts

My SAP application is running in IBM AIX. Everyday my application generate some files in the below path as below.

Code:
 root@sedcaspm0502: pwd
/interfaces/RFTS/B11/archive

root@sedcaspm0502: ls -lrt

-rw-r  r      1 ppgadm   sapsys      1039445 May 08 01:20 20180508-020004_S3003_MBUSI.gz
-rw-r  r      1 ppgadm   sapsys     41572356 May 09 01:20 20180509-020104_S3003_SMB.gz
-rw-r  r      1 ppgadm   sapsys      1046405 May 09 01:28 20180509-020005_S3003_MBUSI.gz
-rw-r  r      1 ppgadm   sapsys     41882191 May 11 01:20 20180511-020101_S3003_SMB.gz

-rw-r  r      1 ppgadm   sapsys   1114204250 May 14 01:15 20180514-020059_S3003_SMB

We are zipping all the files and keeping the same directory in every Friday.
I want to make a small shell script to zip the files and keep the same dir.
can someone help me on this please.

facing issues:
1. I am not AIX administrator and not work much in shell script
2. There is no extension of these files to filter for zipping
Note: Files to be zipped and kept in the same dir with same name.

currently I am using the below syntax to archive the file.

Code:
zip <xxxxxxxxxx> <xxxxxxxx.gz>

Thanks & Regards
Sundar.C

Welcome to the forum.

Please post in an adequate forum, and use code tags. Show your attempts / ideas / thoughts on a solution.

There don't seem to be access / permission problems as your manual zipping works.
What is your shell (version)? Depending on it the file selection can be reliably simpified, or not.

One more comment: your command syntax seems questionalble: zip needs the archive name first, and then the file names to be combined into the archive. The .gz ending usually identifies gziped data, not zipped ones.
