Knowing ABAP is definitely an advantage if you work on SAP, regardless of any module, including BI. But having experience in just ABAP may not be helpful in the long run.

BI has better prospects and experienced BI professionals are going to be more in demand since BI is gaining more traction as IT industries gear towards SOA.
