How about,
n = 10;
x0 = 1;
x1 = 10;
play[x_] := IntegerPart[x]
eq1[j_] := {D[ToExpression["f" <> ToString[j]][x], x] ==
ToExpression["f" <> ToString[play[j]]][x],
ToExpression["f" <> ToString[j]][x0] == j^2}
eqs = Flatten[Table[eq1[j], {j, 1, n}]]
fun = Flatten[Table[ToExpression["f" <> ToString[j]], {j, 1, n}]]
tes = NDSolve[eqs, fun, {x, x0, x1}][[1]];

I tried "_NumericQ" and similar things but nothing seems. I would be very happy if someone could tell me how to resolve this.
