Hi,
I think I do not fully understand the structure. What is the d1-d61?
Variables? Observations? The code seems like that are variables. Anyway you
cannot work with a macrovariable as index in that way. What you can do, is
to create a ARRAY:

array x(*) d1-d61;

that you can test with:

do i=1 to dim(x);
  if x(i)<=-2 or x(i)>=2 then output;
end;
