Logic for month change

Post by prax1 » Sun Aug 27, 2017 2:00 am

I am a beginner in COBOL. I have a file like below

Agent No Date Amount
xxx 07/17 100.00
xxx 07/17 200.00
xxx 07/17 10.00
xxx 07/17 105.00
xxx 08/17 100.00

I have a requirement like .....read the the file, as the long as the month does not change, accumulate the amount. As soon as the month changes write the total to output file(like for example above the month changes to 08/17)

Now, my question is how do i write logic for changing month in COBOL program? Any suggestions please
