Your request is a little confusing but if you want the second output you can use this hack:
Code:
nawk '
    !/^[(yes|no)]/ {print}
    /^[(yes|no)]/ {
        sub (/yesno/, "yes\nno")
        sub (/yesyes/, "yes\nyes")
        sub (/noyes/, "no\nyes")
        sub (/nono/, "no\nno")
        print
    }' file.txt

see if this works
Assuming there are 2 lines after every occurence of pattern.
Code:
awk '/mydata/ {orig=$0; getline;one=$0;getline;two=$0; if( one ~ "YES") {printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n",orig,one,two)} else {printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n",orig,two,one)} }' fname

it works for me
I use HP-UX B.11.11 and the above code works. May be it could some quotes or some other character that is causing the issue.
