Change it to

for i=0L,n_elements(y)-1 do ...

or add the following declaration to the beginning of your code

compile_opt DEFINT32

When you set i to 0 at the beginning of the loop, this makes i a short
(16-bit) integer *unless* you explicitly specify a long integer (0L) or you
tell IDL that you want your default integer type to be long (32-bit). Short
integers can't go past 32767
