Same as I said before ...

1) Use a formal parameter.

2) Don't do anything in the `interactive' form except
   get/assign the argument(s).

3) Test interactively and non-interactively (i.e., from Lisp).

(defun atomic-position (flag)
  (interactive
   (list (completing-read
          "flag: "
          '("alat" "angstrom" "bohr" "crystal" "crystal_sg") )))
  (insert (format "Atomic Kitten: %s" flag) ))

;; test:
;;   (call-interactively #'atomic-position)
;;   (atomic-position "bohr")
