st: Generate a more complex lagged variable

Hi all,
In the formula H_t=a*H_t-1+(1-a)*P_t-1, P is an existing variable per firm/year.
Assuming that H[2]=P[1], and taking a=0.1: How can I build the column
of H_t by firm?
Since it understands [x] as weights, Stata indicates that "weights are
not allowed", so my problem becomes the specific calculation of each
observation in the H_t column.
Can anyone suggest a solution
Thanks very much
