How to find a phrase and pull all lines that follow until the phrase occurs again?

I want to burst a report by using the page number value in the report header. Each section starts with
Code:
*PAGE NO:* 1

Each section might have several pages, but the next section always starts back at 1.

So I want to find the "*PAGE NO:* 1" value and pull all lines that follow until "*PAGE NO:* 1" appears again.

I've tried using awk search for the phrase and pull newline characters but I can't rely on a set number of lines that follow the phrase.

Thank you!
