If we want to repeat a certain job step 255 times without having to write it how to achieve it.

Submit the job 255 times instead.

IS there any looping technique that can take care of lets say submitting it or repeating it that many times.

Any program should easily be able to have a looping structure that can iterate 255 job submissions. Otherwise, a recursive process could be done: first job is submitted, program step runs, job submits itself, and so on until all 255 iterations have been done. Obviously, you'll need to include the logic to count the number of iterations and the method to stop the recursion once 255 has been reached.
