You cannot, but your initial premise is flawed.

There are many 16-bit OS/2 BASICs, including, would you believe,
Microsoft's, IBM's, and a few others.  There is no 32-bit BASIC for
OS/2 (yet).

There is one 32-bit Pascal for OS/2, Microway's.  There are several
16-bit versions for OS/2, including Clarion's TopSpeed Pascal (which I
use).

Get ahold of the file tinf31.zip, available via anonymous ftp from
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu -- check file /pub/os2/00Index for location.  It
lists a lot of BASIC and Pascal compilers for OS/2.
