Energy levels, radiative transition probabilities, and autoionization rates for 1s{sup 2}2s{sup 2}2p{sup 5}3l{sup '}nl,1s{sup 2}2s2p{sup 6}3l{sup '}nl(n=3-7,l{<=}n-1) and 1s{sup 2}2s{sup 2}2p{sup 5}4l{sup '}nl,1s{sup 2}2s2p{sup 6}4l{sup '}nl(n=4-6,l{<=}n-1) states in Na-like tungsten (W{sup 63+}) are calculated. Cowan's relativistic Hartree-Fock method, the relativistic multiconfiguration method implemented in the Hebrew University Lawrence Livermore Atomic Code, and the relativistic many-body perturbation theory method, are used. Autoionizing levels above the threshold 1s{sup 2}2s{sup 2}2p{sup 6} are considered. It is found that configuration mixing [3sns+3pnp+3dnd],[3snp+3pns+3pnd+3dnp] plays an important role for all atomic characteristics. Also strong mixing between states with 2s and 2p holes (1s{sup 2}2s{sup 2}2p{sup 5}3l{sub 1}nl{sub 2}+1s{sup 2}2s2p{sup 6}3l{sub 3}nl{sub 4}) occurs. Branching ratios relative to the first threshold and intensity factors are calculated for satellite lines, and dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficients are determined for the excited 1s{sup 2}2s{sup 2}2p{sup 6}nl(n=3-7,l{<=}n-1) states. It is shown that the contribution of the highly excited states is very important for calculation of total DR rates. Contributions from the autoionizing states 1s{sup 2}2s{sup 2}2p{sup 5}3l{sup '}nl,1s{sup 2}2s2p{sup 6}3l{sup '}nl(n{>=}8) and 1s{sup 2}2s{sup 2}2p{sup 5}4l{sup '}nl,1s{sup 2}2s2p{sup 6}4l{sup '}nl(n{>=}7) to the DR rate coefficients are estimated by extrapolation of all atomic parameters. The orbital angular momentum (l) distribution of the rate coefficients shows a peak at l=2. The total DR rate coefficient is derived as a function of electron temperature. The dielectronic satellite spectra of W{sup 63+} are important for L-shell diagnostics of very high-temperature laboratory plasmas such as future ITER fusion plasmas.
