st: rolling PCA/factor analysis?

Hello Stata-listers,
I was wondering if anyone has experience running a rolling PCA or factor analysis? In this case I am using the "factor ..., pcf" method rather than "pca".
I have data on 45 cities over 20 years with quarterly periodicity. I'd like to examine how the largest eigennvalue varies over the time sample using a window of 10 years. I've tried the "rolling" command in Stata v12 which has the format:
rolling [exp_list] [if] [in] [, options] : command
...but I'm at a loss as to what to use in [exp_list].
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Lucy
