There is a setting in the OS/2 DOS Icon Object. Click on the DOS icon object in OS/2 (with the right mouse button), then choose Open->Settings.

(Now, I do not have OS/2 available right now as I am at a Sun Terminal but here is a description how to set it up approximately...)

Okay, now there is a "page" of DOS settings and one of them is SET_DPMI_something. It's settings are either AUTO, ENABLED, or DISABLED. Set this setting to ENABLED. This is because Borland C++ uses DPMI. You should be fine after you change this setting. (Close all you stuff, and run Borland.)

This is also documented in you README document for OS/2 v2.0. (Although the
instructions say it is for v3.0 and not v3.1). I have no problems running any of the v3.1 compiler settings.
