Using awk to get the exact pattern match and the blocks following it

I had asked this question earlier. Get lines between pattern1 and pattern2 into a seperate file including the line with pattern1 in shell

And am using awk to get what i want as suggested by @A-Ray. However, earlier i used to run a command against each object(about 500 of them) and then use awk to get what i wanted. Now, instead of doing that, i am trying to spit everything into a text file and use awk to get lines for individual objects.

So, my text file is

DEFINE OBJECT('OBJECT.TOPIC') +
*  ALTDATE(2015-09-22) +
*  ALTTIME(00.56.38) +
   DESCR('topic object') +
   GET(ENABLED) +
   PUT(ENABLED) +
   PROPCTL(COMPAT) +
   TARGTYPE(TOPIC) +
   REPLACE
DEFINE OBJECT('OBJECT1') +
*  CRDATE(2015-09-22) +
*  CRTIME(00.56.38) +
*  CURDEPTH(0) +
   CUSTOM(' ') +
   DESCR('TEST') +
   DISTL(NO) +
   PROCESS(' ') +
   SHARE +
   USAGE(NORMAL) +
   REPLACE
DEFINE OBJECT('OBJECT2') +
*  ALTDATE(2015-09-22) +
*  ALTTIME(00.56.38) +
*  CURDEPTH(0) +
   CUSTOM(' ') +
   DESCR('TEST') +
   DISTL(NO) +
   PROCESS(' ') +
   SHARE +
   USAGE(NORMAL) +
   REPLACE
DEFINE OBJECT('TCOBJECT1') +
*  CRDATE(2015-09-22) +
*  CRTIME(00.56.38) +
*  CURDEPTH(0) +
   CUSTOM(' ') +
   DESCR('TEST') +
   DISTL(NO) +
   PROCESS(' ') +
   SHARE +
   USAGE(NORMAL) +
   REPLACE
DEFINE OBJECT('OBJECT1TC') +
*  CRDATE(2015-09-22) +
*  CRTIME(00.56.38) +
*  CURDEPTH(0) +
   CUSTOM(' ') +
   DESCR('TEST') +
   DISTL(NO) +
   PROCESS(' ') +
   SHARE +
   USAGE(NORMAL) +
   REPLACE

DEFINE OBJECT('OBJECT1.TC') +
*  CRDATE(2015-09-22) +
*  CRTIME(00.56.38) +
*  CURDEPTH(0) +
   CUSTOM(' ') +
   DESCR('TEST') +
   DISTL(NO) +
   PROCESS(' ') +
   SHARE +
   USAGE(NORMAL) +
   REPLACE

SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT2') +
   GROUP('user1') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('TCOBJECT1') +
   GROUP('user3') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1') +
   GROUP('user1') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1') +
   GROUP('user2') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1') +
   GROUP('user3') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
   SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT2') +
   GROUP('user3') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
   SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1.TC') +
   GROUP('user1') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1.TC') +
   GROUP('user2') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)

And I want the output as 

DEFINE OBJECT('OBJECT1') +
*  CRDATE(2015-09-22) +
*  CRTIME(00.56.38) +
*  CURDEPTH(0) +
   CUSTOM(' ') +
   DESCR('TEST') +
   DISTL(NO) +
   PROCESS(' ') +
   SHARE +
   USAGE(NORMAL) +
   REPLACE
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1') +
   GROUP('user1') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1') +
   GROUP('user2') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)

So if you look at the output i want, i am getting blocks only for OBJECT1 and removing anything with OBJECT1 and user3.

So the command i am using for this is 

cat testawk.txt|awk -vRS="[^+]\n" 'BEGIN{printf ""}/\<OBJECT\>/&&!/\<'user3'\>/{printf $0 RT}'

But by using the above command i get the output as 

DEFINE OBJECT('OBJECT1') +
*  CRDATE(2015-09-22) +
*  CRTIME(00.56.38) +
*  CURDEPTH(0) +
   CUSTOM(' ') +
   DESCR('TEST') +
   DISTL(NO) +
   PROCESS(' ') +
   SHARE +
   USAGE(NORMAL) +
   REPLACE
DEFINE OBJECT('OBJECT1.TC') +
*  CRDATE(2015-09-22) +
*  CRTIME(00.56.38) +
*  CURDEPTH(0) +
   CUSTOM(' ') +
   DESCR('TEST') +
   DISTL(NO) +
   PROCESS(' ') +
   SHARE +
   USAGE(NORMAL) +
   REPLACE
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1') +
   GROUP('user1') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1') +
   GROUP('user2') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
   SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1.TC') +
   GROUP('user1') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1.TC') +
   GROUP('user2') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)

Is there a way to get an exact match for OBJECT1?

awk to the rescue!

handling quotes is hard, better to externalize them from the script. Using quotes eliminate the need to set the word boundaries as well (quotes are the boundaries).

$ awk -vRS='[^+]\n' -vk="'OBJECT1'" -vu="'user3'" '$0~k && $0!~u{printf "%s",$0 RT}' file

DEFINE OBJECT('OBJECT1') +
*  CRDATE(2015-09-22) +
*  CRTIME(00.56.38) +
*  CURDEPTH(0) +
   CUSTOM(' ') +
   DESCR('TEST') +
   DISTL(NO) +
   PROCESS(' ') +
   SHARE +
   USAGE(NORMAL) +
   REPLACE
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1') +
   GROUP('user1') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
SET RECORD +
   PROFILE('OBJECT1') +
   GROUP('user2') +
   AUTHADD(change,delete,display,alter)
