In general it is much easier to work with one time index. I.e. use a single index t instead of two indices (d,h). This will make your model much simpler and easier to maintain.

If you want to print in the final reports in terms of (d,h) then use:

sets
  d / d1*d10 /
  h / h1*h24 /
  t / t1 * t240 /
;
 
 
variable delta(t),x(t);
equation e(t);
e(t).. delta(t)$(ord(t)>1) =e= x(t) - x(t-1) ;
 
 
set mapper(d,h,t);
mapper(d,h,t)$([ord(d)-1]*card(h)+ord(h) = ord(t)) = yes;
display mapper;
 
x.l(t) = uniform(0,1);
parameter xreport(d,h);
xreport(d,h) = sum(mapper(d,h,t),x.l(t));
display xreport;
