CNL Cursor Next Line

Move the cursor Pn lines down and to the first character position of that line. A 0 is taken as 1.

It is a CUD followed by a carriage return, and behaves as those two do. The cursor stops at the bottom margin, or the last line if it started below the margin, and never scrolls. With left and right margins set, it goes to the left margin rather than the first column.

DEC STD 070 does not define CNL. The VT510 manual does, as does xterm.
