Yes.

I've seen at least four replies go by that all said:

Zero the lower FCB bytes and the CR byte in the FCB (as per cp/m manuals).
Fill the name and extension fields with ???????? and ???   .
Call Search for First
Call a routine which appends the FCB to a list of FCBs

While Search for Next returns OK, DO BEGIN
  Call a routine which appends the FCB to a list of FCBs
END

When the entire list of names is built, go back, and one at a time,
open, read, process, close.
