Java Help in replacing two blank lines with two diff data

Hi.. I'm facing a trouble in replacing two blank lines in a file using shell script...
I used sed to search a line and insert two blank lines after the searchd line using the following sed command.
Sed "/data/{G;G;}/" filename. In the file, after data tag, two lines got inserted blank lines.. Now i'm trying to insert 2 different data into the same blank lines.. But cudn't get the command for that... Any help wud b appreciated...

Thanks in advance..
