Yes, but I urge you to use the corresponding GPR calls, because
we're deep into the process of phasing out the smd calls.
(You didn't say what SR you're on, but thanks for reminding us
to edit "scrto").

To change the screen-saver timeout, use gpr_$set_blank_timeout.  You
probably have a manual (GPR) describing its use.

The gpr calls you want (from <apollo/gpr.h> are:

extern void  gpr_$set_blank_timeout (
    time_$clock_t                   & timeout,
    status_$t                       *status);

extern void gpr_$inq_config (
    gpr_$display_config_t           * config,
    status_$t                       * status);

extern void gpr_$inq_blank_timeout (
     time_$clock_t                  &timeout,
     status_$t                      *status);
