FSET is Fieldset is used in the ATTRB parameters of the field definition of the BMS maps(DFHMDF)
FRSET is Field Reset is used in the CNTL parameters of the map definition (DFHMDI) or mapset definition(DFHMSD)

FSET sets to the related flag bit (7th bit of Attribute character) to 1.
if you dont give this in the attrb of the dfhmdf the seventh bit( or last bit) of the attribute character is set to zero this means that the particular field is not modified by the end user, and if the enduser is entered some data in that particular field this bit will be set to 1, with out giving the FSET in its attrb parameters.

Thank you Nuthan, I had a doubt that whether it is the last bit or the last but oneth bit.

It's the the rightmost bit in the attribute byte
