Abstract
A graphical user interface permits a user to graphically designate a range within data files as input to operations that manipulate the data and permits the user to graphically represent operations that thereafter can be selected for execution. In this way, a user can graphically designate a range of records within a data file on which a desired data manipulation operation will occur and can graphically represent the desired data manipulation operation with a single icon that can be selected for execution.
