Need Help with grep printing multiple lines.

I need help in printing multiple lines using a grep command.

The situation is like this.

I have a file that contains large number of lines

Now I need to find the the lines in the file such that if the word "AllServiceType" is found then the next line also gets printed.

Does anyone know how can I do that? The OS is AIX 6.1

Thanks.

It is not AIX specific - moving thread to other sub forum.
