On the whole it looks ok except your first parameter to DosFindFirst. That
should be just "*".

Here's a quick sample I whipped up


-- CUT -------- Begin 1.cpp -------- CUT --
#define INCL_DOSFILEMGR
#include 

#include 

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
   char searchPath[CCHMAXPATH] = {0};
   char displayPath[CCHMAXPATH] = {0};

   if (argc==1)
      strcpy(searchPath, "*");
   else
      strcpy(searchPath, argv[1]);

   strcpy(displayPath, searchPath);

   char *temp = displayPath + strlen(displayPath);
   while ((temp >= displayPath) &&
          (*temp != '\\'))
      *temp-- = '\0';

   HDIR hDir = HDIR_CREATE;
   ULONG ulFileNames = 1;
   FILEFINDBUF3 FindBuf3 = {0};
   APIRET rc = 0;

   rc = DosFindFirst(searchPath, &hDir,
                     MUST_HAVE_DIRECTORY, &FindBuf3,
                     sizeof(FILEFINDBUF3), &ulFileNames, FIL_STANDARD);
   if (rc) {
      cerr << "DosFindFirst: " << rc << endl;
      return 2;
   }

   do {
      cout << displayPath << FindBuf3.achName << endl;

      rc = DosFindNext(hDir, &FindBuf3, sizeof(FILEFINDBUF3), &ulFileNames);
      if (rc) {
         cerr << "DosFindNext: " << rc << endl;
      }
   } while (!rc);

   DosFindClose(hDir);
   return 0;
}
