Answer / shekh

let me correct u Vaneesh.

we need to check each character. load the string to array & use condition.
perform para until eof
if ws-char (a) = ws-char (a + 1)
continue
else move ws-char (a) to ws-string (b).

define the variables accordingly.

ID DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. TESTPRG4.

DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 WS-VAR.
10 WS-VARA PIC X(20).
10 WS-VARB PIC X(20).
10 I PIC 99.
10 J PIC 99 VALUE 1.
10 OCR PIC 99 VALUE 1.
10 WS-TAB.
20 WS-REC OCCURS 10 TIMES.
30 WS-ID PIC X(1) .

PROCEDURE DIVISION.
ACCEPT WS-VARA.
MOVE 'A' TO WS-HOLD.
PERFORM VARYING I FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL I > 20
MOVE WS-VAR(I:1) TO WS-ID(OCR)
ADD 1 TO OCR
END-PERFORM.

PERFORM VARYING OCR FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL OCR > 20
IF WS-REC(OCR) NOT EQUAL TO WS-REC(OCR + 1) THEN

Answer / vaneesh

Here I am considering INPUT to COBOL working storage
variable and not from file. (If it is input from file then
answer above by Adithya is right).

01 WS-INPUT PIC X(52) VALUE 'AABBCCDDEFGHIIJ.....ZZ'
05 WS-ALPHABET-INP PIC X OCCOURS 52 TIMES.

01 WS-OUPUT PIC X(26).
05 WS-ALPHABET-OUT PIC X OCCOURS 26 TIMES.

01 SUBSRIPTS
05 WS-SUBA PIC 9(2).
05 WS-SUBB PIC 9(2) VALUE 1.

PROCEDURE DIVISION.

PERFORM VARYING WS-SUBA FROM 2 BY 2 UNTIL WS-SUBA > 52

MOVE WS-ALPHABET(WS-SUBA) TO WS-ALPHABET-OUT(WS-SUBB)

ADD +1 TO WS-SUBB

END-PERFORM.

DISPLAY WS-OUPUT

STOP RUN.
