write means u r inserting records in to a file
move means u r passing data from one variable to another
for exp a=10 b=0
move a to b
now b=10.
write record name
here u r inserting records into file.
talling is to be used for word counting

MOVE moves the value to a variable where as we r inserting/writing a record into a file. so both does the different thing.

'EJECT' will come into effect when you are going to take the print of the program. Whenever this verb encounters, the printer prints the matter after this verb onto a new page.

there is a registor called tally so the count is stored in this tally reg using tally verb
move to move the values between variables or between literals and variables or between corresponding variables having the same qualifiers
MOVE copies data from one field within the program to another. WRITE creates an entire record that is written to an external file defined to the program.
I believe you are referring to 'TALLYING', which is an internal counter used with the INSPECT verb.
EJECT is not actually a COBOL verb. Instead, like SKIP, it is a command to compiler to format the printing of the compiled listing.
What is the difference between write & move in COBOL.? What is the meaning of 'TALLING' verb in cobol? What is the meaning of 'Eject' verb in cobol?
