You have to go reading elsewhere! It doesn't explain what the L param is either in the manual for that command. Hint - the params for each command should be shown in the manual under that commands entry, shouldn't be necessary to have to go mooching about elsewhere. Dunno if this helps, but it's the retract distance with the following proviso. 15.47 G98, G99 Set Canned Cycle Return Level When the spindle retracts during canned cycles, there is a choice of how far it retracts: (1) retract perpendicular to the selected plane to the position indicated by the R word, or (2) retract perpendicular to the selected plane to the position that axis was in just before the canned cycle started (unless that position is lower than the position indicated by the R word, in which case use the R word position). To use option (1), program G99. To use option (2), program G98. Remember that the R word has different meanings in absolute distance mode and incremental distance mode. Was going to give an example from the Mach manual, but it's as bad, in fact it's almost word for word the same for drilling cycles!
