Though the suggested format in the official document is as follows:
CELL_PARAMETERS { alat | bohr | angstrom }
But based on my tries, any of the following forms, say, taking alat as
an example here, will be acceptable/eligible for pw.x:
CELL_PARAMETERS {alat}
CELL_PARAMETERS (alat)
CELL_PARAMETERS alat

Or equivalently, write it as celldm(1). See here for more information:

Re: [QE-users] why scf calculation give : Error in routine cell_base_init (1): lattice parameter not specified
I think the syntax is not correct - you can only specify (in curly
parentheses} alat/bohr/angstrom for cell paramters, but then you need to
specify (if you choose {alat}) the actual value of A in angstrom in
