We present the results of our automatic search for proximate damped Ly{alpha} absorption (PDLA) systems in the quasar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12. We constrain our search to those PDLAs lying within 1500km/s from the quasar to make sure that the broad DLA absorption trough masks most of the strong Ly{alpha} emission from the broad-line region (BLR) of the quasar. When the Ly{alpha} emission from the BLR is blocked by these so-called eclipsing DLAs, narrow Ly{alpha} emission from the host galaxy could be revealed as a narrow emission line (NEL) in the DLA trough. We define a statistical sample of 399 eclipsing DLAs with logN(HI)>=21.10. We divide our statistical sample into three subsamples based on the strength of the NEL detected in the DLA trough. By studying the stacked spectra of these subsamples, we found that absorptions from high ionization species are stronger in DLAs with stronger NEL in their absorption core. Moreover, absorption from the excited states of species like SIII are also stronger in DLAs with stronger NEL. We also found no correlation between the luminosity of the Ly{alpha} NEL and the quasar luminosity. These observations are consistent with a scenario in which the DLAs with stronger NEL are denser and physically closer to the quasar. We propose that these eclipsing DLAs could be the product of the interaction between infalling and outflowing gas. High-resolution spectroscopic observation would be needed to shed some light on the nature of these eclipsing DLAs.
