I assume we're talking about "looping" inside a PX job rather than a Sequence job, the latter of which goes back well before the 8.x version.
First question would have to be why - what makes you think you need to do any kind of "looping" in a job? What are you trying to accomplish?

A future version of DataStage (probably the next) will not have a Loop stage in jobs. It will have the ability to set up a looping construct within a Transformer stage - and consequently the ability for the Transformer to sent more rows to an output link than were received on its input link.
