You can do with MX both ways, exportIimport from CDS/ISIS to MARC
provided you have in place the fields that have to be converted into the
leader
MARC --> ISIS
*mx iso=marc=source.mrc isotag1=3000 create=dbisis ...*
and you can do the reverse way (you have your leader bytes as 30xx fields)
ISIS --> MARC
*mx dbisis iso=marc=export.mrc _out_isotag1=3000* ...
Note that the use in IsisMarc of the fileds v30xx for those leader
bytes was not by chance, they were purposely defined
Regards
Ernesto
