Join lines using sed or awk

Hi,

I have text file that looks like this:

Code:
blabla
bla
PATTERN
LINE1
LINE2
bla
bla
bla
PATTERN
LINE1
LINE2
bla
PATTERN
LINE1
LINE2
bla
bla
...



There are exactly 2 lines following PATTERN.
I need output to be one line with PATTERN, LINE1 and LINE2 concatenated.
That is, output from input file above should be :

Code:
PATTERNLINE1LINE2
PATTERNLINE1LINE2
PATTERNLINE1LINE2

How can such 3 linies be joined using sed or awk ?

Regards,
Hench

REPORTER-PRINT(1)						 LIBREPORT MANUAL						 REPORTER-PRINT(1)

NAME
reporter-print - Prints problem information to standard output or FILE. SYNOPSIS
reporter-print [-v] [-d DIR] [-o FILE] [-a yes/no] [-r] DESCRIPTION
The tool reads problem directory DIR and prints its text representation to stdout or to a specified FILE. Integration with ABRT events reporter-print can be used as a reporter, to allow users to report problems by writing them to a file. Example: EVENT=report reporter-print -o "${Log_File:-/tmp/abrt.log}" OPTIONS
-d DIR Path to problem directory. -v Be more verbose. Can be given multiple times. -o FILE Output file -a yes/no If -o FILE is specified, controls whether FILE is appended to, or overwritten. (default: no) -r Add a record to reported_to in DIR which specifies that this problem was reported. Some tools use this to differentiate between problems which were and weren't yet reported. Output format The output is designed to be machine-parsable. The elements which have only one line are printed in the form NAME:<whitespace>VALUE Elements which have more than one line are printed in the form NAME: :LINE1 :LINE2 :LINE3 Output may contain empty lines for better readability.
