Int 21H, AH=4FH

Version

2 and higher

Brief

“FINDNEXT” - FIND NEXT MATCHING FILE

Family API

Input

AH = 4Fh
Disk Transfer Area contains data block from previous FindFirst or
  FindNext call

Return

CF clear if successful
    Disk Transfer Area updated
CF set on error
    AX = error code (12h) (see #01680 at AH=59h/BX=0000h)

Notes

under Novell DOS 7, if the FindFirst call (AH=4Eh) had CX=0088h, then
  the next matching deleted file will be returned
since the entire state of a FindFirst/FindNext sequence is contained
  in the data block in the DTA, other disk operations such as renaming,
  moving, deleting, or creating files can cause inaccurate directory
  searches, such as finding the same file twice
 BUG:	DR DOS 3.41 and 5.0 return the Directory attribute for the volume label
