I am very grateful Prof. Giovanni Cantele, you have saved me a lot of stress 
Of course cos(ab) was defined in PW.html within A,B,C cos(ab) but not defined 
in among celldm(1)-celldm(6)
Many Thanks to all forum members

 cos(ab) means cosine of the angle between lattice AXIS a and lattice AXIS b, 
so xcrysden gives you the correct view
see also Doc/INPUT_PW.txt at the description of the variable A, B, C, cosAB, 
cosAC, cosBC

Good day everyone I need some help with clarification on celldm(4)=cos(ab) 
Does cos(ab) mean the cosine of angle between lattice parameter a and b or it 
means the cosine of the product of the lattice parameter a and b that is 
cosine(lattice parameter a*lattice parameter b)
when i view my input file using xcrysden it looks like a cubic structure when i 
used celldm(4)=cos(ab)=0 since angle between a and b is 90 degree
but looked like a monoclinic structure when i used cosine(lattice parameter 
a*lattice parameter b)
Am i getting the cos(ab) wrong
Many Thanks to everyone on this forum
