Kamal,

For looping of the data step (better called cycle of execution or iteration), there is a whole chapter in Base SAS Certification Preparation Guide (Chapter 6, I guess). I would recommend you to read it if you have access to that. It clearly explains the whole process in a lucid way with diagrams.

There is also a doc on that topic with more information--
