A script such as this will name the files out.100, out.200 where the number corresponds to whatever follows "DOC"

Code:
#!/bin/sh

while read line
do
   if echo $line | grep DOC; then
       line_no=`echo $line | sed 's/DOC\([0-9]*\)/\1/g'`
   elif echo $line | grep END; then
       : #ignore
   else
       echo $line >> out.$line_no
   fi
done < file.txt
Where file.txt contains your data.

This is a quick script and there's room for improvement, but you get the idea.

Cheers
