Is there any option for tar compression on tape?

Hi All,

I'm trying to put a directory into tape 12/24 GB.
The directory size is more than 24 GB.

I found you can do it into 2/3 steps

tar cvf archive.tar archive will create archive.tar
compress archive.tar will create another file archive.tar.z

is there any command to do this in one step?
On linux, they have
tar cvfz archive.tar.gz archive

Best Regards,
Naji Ghanim
