Claus,

Given:

zVals = {13, 8, 15, 9, 15, 8, 11, 2, 18, 8, 5, 10, 11, 10, 9, 14, 6, 
   23, 6, 14, 16, 5, 10, 5, 18, 10, 11, 10, 15, 8, 6, 23, 6, 17, 6, 
   12, 9, 17, 4, 8, 18, 4, 18, 9, 13, 9, 14, 6, 10, 6, 5, 13, 5, 10, 
   6, 19, 8, 17, 9, 16, 15, 5, 13, 5, 11, 9, 16, 2, 21, 11, 4, 15, 7, 
   10, 7, 16, 10, 14, 7, 18, 17, 8, 15, 11, 14, 5, 14, 4, 13, 6, 8, 
   16, 8, 22, 8, 6, 9, 13, 5, 12};

xyVals = Table[{i, j}, {i, 0.05, 1, 0.1}, {j, 0.05, 1, 0.1}];

This will join each element of zVals to the appropriate
element in xyVals:

f[xyPair_List, zValue_] := Join[xyPair, {zValue}] 
MapThread[f, { Flatten[xyVals, 1], zVals}]

Regards,
Don
