Matthew,

If you truly mean the data has the form x,y,z,value then you have a 4D
data set. However if you only want to show the positions (x,y,z) and not
the value use the PLOTS procedure:

PLOTS,x,y,z, PSYM=1 ;psym chooses the plot symbol

You could use the value part of your data set to pick the color or symbol
of a given x,y,z triplet
