Multiple type of files to be compressed as single file

On Guardian for one release I will have 101, 0 (Audidated/Nonaudited) , Cobol/Enform objects, enscribe files.

I want to compress all these verious files into single file, also uncompress them making sure there format everything will be retained. 

Please let me know for this how I should use PAK or TAR or PAX commands or any other utility ?

I am a bit confused, but as I am not an expert in this topic, I have a limited understanding. However, here is what I can suggest.

Using PAK, specifically designed for HPE NonStop systems, preserves Guardian file attributes, security, audit flags, Enscribe structure, COBOL/Enform attributes, etc, and supports both audited and non-audited files compatible with Guardian and OSS environments can compress multiple files/directories into one archive.

Thanks for inputs. I have already tried PAK the compressed package is with 1729+ how to get original files without any data corruption. Also it excluded audited files.
