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
