TAR Files Argument list too long error

Hi,

I have a requirement where I need to TAR more than 50K files.
Even though I can do TAR successfully on few 100s of files, but whenever Im trying to TAR the entire 50K files, I am getting the error message :

Argument List Too Long.

Please suggest how can i avoid this error.
Im trying : tar -cvf *.xml Arch200912.tar

Thanks in advance.

Hope it helps. -- Related thread.
