I had to copy/paste your example into a discussion box, and then remove formatting before I could make sense of it (which is very odd to have to do). I’d paste it back here with formatting, but I figure it won’t look better.
 
For me, Query/400 query is too old and out of date for this kind of output. I’d use a Query Manager query and report form instead. But if anybody else can help, I hope I at least described how they can interpret your example. (It’s not your fault. This editor needs a lot of work.)
 
BTW, if this was a QM query/report, the source could be posted. But you can’t do that with Query/400.

I know. But I expect one of the Query/400 users will understand how to straighten it out. You probably can’t make it look better. It gets messed up when browsers render it in HTML. — Tom

Sorry I got the input but do not understand the output format.

Output is generally a simple summary of amount by account (minor) within date (major). Date is suppressed on summary lines after the first. It’s a fairly simple report, but not trivial to describe for Query/400. — Tom

Not sure how to get the repeating date to not print.
 
That was the piece I wasn’t sure about. I thought I remembered it from way back when I used to use Query/400. It’s relatively easy with QM, but not sure about summary lines in Query/400.

doesn’t usually sorting on the column and adding a break level on that column prevent the same value from printing ?
