The easiest way is to inbed a "DLYJOB DLY(<# of seconds>)" at the 

beginning of the CL with enough time for you to bring the debugger  up.

Here is a suggestion I find  _real_  handy:
(but I don't know how it'd work in a batch process; I've never tried that)

(This is not my creation, btw.)
Here are 2 new commands you can easily add to your
STRDM options to start debug for you.  "I1" prompts you for the name of
the starting place and "I2" calls that program.  It works on CL and RPG.
----------------------------------------------------

In STRPDM, working with objects, 
------------------------------------------------
- do F16 to get the list of commands.
- do F6 to create a new command.
- create the new command   "I1"
- the command is:    "? STRISDB PGM(&N) UPDPROD(*YES) INVPGM(*CMD)"  -
return to theSTRPDM work with objects screen.
- put I1 on the program you want to debug (CL & RPG both work). 

It will then prompt you for the command to call to start the debug
session.  That can be any command, including calling a menu. The procedure
will work normally until it gets to the program you have marked to debug.
----------------------------------------------------
If you like that you can also make a command I2 
- "STRISDB PGM(&N) UPDPROD(*YES)"
and use that to directly call the object.
-------------------------------------------------------
I can't take credit for these  -  someone unknown to me deserves that.
