It's an alert. It tells you that there is a possibility that a number arriving as a dfloat may not fit into an sfloat.

If you are 100%, totally, absolutely certain that your numbers will never be larger than sfloat's maximum size, then you can either change the upstream data type to sfloat or implement a message handler to demote the message to informational.
