Are you trying to generate a software interrupt in a native OS/2 program? 
In a DOS program, Int 0x10 is the BIOS video service, which is unavailable
from native OS/2.  You need to use the VioXxxxx API calls instead.

Can you give us a more broad overview of what you are trying to accomplish?
 If you are doing something simple to port, such as setting or getting the
video mode, then there are nearly direct equivalents for this in the OS/2
API. If you are trying to set up the video system for direct access to the
hardware, you are doomed to a complete rewrite.
