I think that should be:
$ CKERMIT dialing-command-file "-Y" = number-to-call
VMS lowercases your command-line options unless you enclose them in
quotes. If it worked for you without quotes, it's an accident :-)

It's the "-S" option (uppercase), for "Stay":
$ CKERMIT dialing-command-file "-Y" "-S" = number-to-call
I don't think the "-S" should be necessary, though. When you invoke a
command file by giving its name as the first command-line argument, this
should not cause an automatic exit. (Of course, Kermit will exit if the
command file contains an EXIT or QUIT command.) So any of the following
should work:
$ CKERMIT dialing-command-file "-Y" = number-to-call
$ CKERMIT -y dialing-command-file = number-to-call
