The sequence starts with a control Y followed by the row/column | parameters. it's from a very old POS system called rexon.

Hmm. That is strange. Have you grepped through Eric Raymond's termcap and terminfo compilations, to see if any terminal supported there matches such a sequence?

Another thought: Can your trust your source that asserts the existence of a terminal having such a sequence? (The ultimate proof would be a serial-line-analyser trace of real output data from the "Rexon" containing this Control-Y sequence.)

Another thought: a POS system is probably not targeted to an 80x24 format display. It could be a proprietary sequence of some industrial LCD display controller. You might have to research the application notes of semiconductor houses which have made chips to control LCDs.

thanks for the info... looks like I have more research to do.
