I was asked recently and I know anything with H has to do with altitudes and the Zs are azimuths but the rest I don't know with enough certainty to pass on.

It's not Ageton which deals only with A, B and I think R.
L typically is Latitude and P is Parallax.
Take a look at Bowditch Chapter 24 The Sailings-
