Constructing a stock series from flow data

Please can you tell me how I can construct a data series in Eviews 8, of the form:

y = y(-1)*z + x

I can get the series to project forward, but if my starting value is mid-sample, it is not able to project backwards using the nomal genr statement. In microfit the command used to be "simb". Is there a similar command statement for Eviews? Or do I have to normalise the series to period 1?

Thank you!

The genr command has a (r) option to run in reverse.
