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

destination variable, source variable's data remains
unaltered.
