Write basically moves value to device file like disk/screen.

Whereas MOVE is used in program to move values between variables

write is use to write the record in file while move is used to move the data into variable for eg. screen section move records from data division to screen section varibles.

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.

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.
