I have no doubt if the answer of your question may not differ from every mouth .from Out of three Every second person would have their different opinions. So best approach would be search yourself and fetch information from Google as much as you can. After fetching the information then once you conclude any assessment(ABAP vs BI) , I doubt if you would not be confused yourself .

You are tempting to compare orange with the apples.
