Is there a software command that prevents the screen from going to sleep?
So that while the program is running, the screen is constantly in the "monitor" mode.

Try the KeepScreenOn method from the tools extension

A Stay Awake routine can also prevent the screen from closing.
Either

use a Stay Awake block routine using a Notifier

or you use Taifun’s Tools Extension: App Inventor Extensions: Tools | Pura Vida Apps

Be aware using either an extension or a block routine drains your device battery rapidly . These work around methods are not running the app in the Background, they force the app screen to stay open.
