WRITE is used for writing a record in the output file. This
WRITTEN record will not be overwritten by the next WRITE
statement for the same record name.

MOVE is used to assign some data value to a variable. This
data in the variable will be overwritten by the next MOVE
statement for the same varaible name.

Answer / neha bagrodia

In write statement, once the record is written to the
output file, no record is available in the record area....

In move statement even after the data gets moved to
destination variable, source variable's data remains
unaltered.

Answer / animesh

guest your answer has one limitation. if a program is restarted and the file is opened in extebded mode then the records are re written becuase the file will clear all the records and rewrite it.
