ISO2709 is very similar to MARC records as used by libraries. Its most
likely not going to be a simple export.
In ISO2709 there can be variable columns per record, multiple values per
column. You should be able to find a document that describes ISO2709 -
and you could write a perl program to do the conversion. You'll need to
know what tags you should be using. If I recall, ISO2709 doesn't specify
the tags, only the format of the records, but its been a long time since
I've looked at it, so I could be wrong.
At one point I did the opposite (sort of) - I wrote a perl program to
parse ISO2709 files (on mag tapes) and converted them to delimited text
to be indexed & searched.
