Haven't the foggiest what imsl_princ_comp() does, but pcomp() is correct:

pro pca
a=[[1,-2,-6],[-2,1,-3],[-6,-3,5]]
; covariance matrix
s1 = correlate(a,/covariance)
print, s1, ' '
; correlation matrix
s2 = correlate(a)
print, s2, ' '
; diagonalize
print, eigenql(s1)
print, eigenql(s2), ' '
; compare
pca=pcomp(a,eigenvalues=ev,/covariance) & print,transpose(ev)
pca=pcomp(a,eigenvalues=ev) & print,transpose(ev)
end
